The Equitable Life Assurance Society.
All persons seeking assurance will do well
to send for the latest pamphlets of the Equit-
able Life Assurance Society, 120 Broadway,
New York. No other company Is able to
give the security and benefits furnished by
this society.
l. 1t is the strongest company holding q
larger cash surplus than any other assur-
ance organization in the world. Surplus, 4
per cent basis, sixteen and a-half millions)
g 1t is the largest company: having the
greatest volume of outstanding assurance.
-Four hundred and thirty millions)
3. 1t is the most popular company: having
for years transacted the largest annual busi-
ness.
un 1886, one hundred and eleven millions
4. 1t issues the safest policy: which be-
comes absolutely incontestable and cannot
then, like the policies of many companies, be
contested, or compromised for part of its
face value.
5. 1t is OF all companies the most prompt
As soon as policy becomes incontestable it
is payable, not after the usual delay of sixty
days, but Immediately upon the receipt Of
"proof Of death" OF the death claims paid
by the society in 1856, more than one-half of
the total amount was Settled on the very day
proc we're received; and the balance, with
the exception Of a few scattering cases, with
in the first sixty days.
Such q record is unparalleled.
8 1t is the most progressive company:
having bean the pioneer in all the reforms
which have made American life assurance
famous throughout the world.
T. 1t Is the most liberal company: issuing q
policy which combines more guarantees and
advantages than any other company can Of
fer under a single contract of assurance.
s. 1t is the most remunerative company:
having not only accumulated a larger sur
plus for the future benefit Of policy holders,
but having devised the Toutine method Of
assurance, under which larger profits have
been paid to policy holders than under any
form of assurance ever introduced
2. 1t is most worthy Of being called q mu-
tual company: for, not only do all profits be
long to policy holders, but no other asur
| ance company has ever been conducted in
the same sense and to the same degree in the
| interest Of policy holdera From the begin
| ming its managers have sought to adapt its
policies and methods to the needs and prefer
ences of its members.

spirited horse became frightened at
the explosion of crackers in front OF
Quong Sang's store. The little Chi
nese boy who was riding was hastily
pulled off from the animal, which be-
gan to rear and plunge, the people
running in all directions. A represen-
tative of the HERALD captured the
the horse, when the bride broke in
his hands, but he took the snorting
animal firmly by the nose and held
him for short time until he at last
broke away, dashing through the
crowd and knocking down two or
three boys. Luckily none were hurt.
The horse was driven into a corner
and finally captured.
